Rediscovered Art

Where’s the Heron Painting?

Jan 7, 2026

Great Blue Heron

The Heron painting is not a rediscovered artwork. It is a mystery to be discovered, for I do not know who purchased or owns the Heron today. I do know that originally it was sold to an art patron in Texas. With your help in locating these artworks, it not only helps build James’ Legacy Catalog, finding the locations of these artworks gives voice to the art patrons and their connection to the art with the stories, emotion and symbolism it evokes.

Until we find the owner of The Heron, I will let Allison paint the picture of the day that inspired the painting of this majestic bird.

Read Allison’s story in the link below that captures the essence of the lessons learned from her father and of the man James Yale:
